Cassidy’s Mis-Adventures: Volume 2

We rejoin our heroine this episode, after she survived the rude awakening she got from Deadeye (seriously, who just randomly wakes people up from Cryo-sleep like that?!?!?!).

After single handedly saving the Exile fleet, and leveling all the way up to level 3… Cassidy boarded a flight with Deadeye, his no longer sick wife, and the baby (that Mrs. Deadeye swore would be named after Cassidy…that better happen! 😉 ) they’re Thayd bound… and given the luck the Exiles have had so far… I’m sure they’ll get there just fine…. right?

Here’s Volume 2!

 

As always, please let me know your thoughts… I realize these are kinda lengthy, and I’m hoping now that Cassidy is out of the starter zones (where I don’t feel there is a good ‘breaking’ point in those story lines) that it will be easier to keep these down to shorter durations.  Things like Shiphands, Adventures, and Dungeons would be clips of the run, without the ‘outside world’ bits.. using fast forward (like I did a few times in Volume 2) to help speed up the overall run.

WildStar Box Promo

A while back Carbine started a mystery box promo to try and accomplish two things:

  1. Get new players to jump into Nexus.
  2. Move retail stock off the shelves, so with the F2P conversion, they didn’t have to buy back stock from retailers.

Currently GameStop is selling WildStar for $9.99 a box… that gets you 30 days subscription time + the random goody box from the promo.  For those doing the math.. that means the box is $5.00 cheaper than the monthly subscription plus gives you a shot at in game goodies that are selling for 50-80 plat on Entity (US).  Which, in turn, is enough Platinum to buy CREDD, to extend your game time another thirty days.

I may have bought most of the stock from ALL the GameStops in my area (I tried Wal-Mart.. but they wouldn’t price match on this deal).

It may be time for my family to stage an intervention:

I don’t have a problem! You have a Problem!

I should get all three promo items for sure though now… right???  maybe?

 

Edit:  Tally after adding 10 Codes.. both accounts are paid through December now… and I have:

3 GlitterKitty Hoverboards, 5 Snarfelynx mounts, and 2 Marauder costume sets.  So, both accounts will get 1 Character with everything (to get the title)… and I’ll probably sell the rest.  Hopefully, Carbine is making these rewards account bound with Drop 6.. so I don’t regret using them all on the same character to unlock the title.

 

Cassidy’s Mis-Adventures – Volume 1

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, WildStar is going F2P… part of the upcoming changes, is a revamp of the Arkship starting area.  To preserve the current tutorial, and, to have some fun.. I decided to start a new Alt.. and record all her leveling from 0-50 (yes, just like WildStar’s Official Zero to Fifty stream that was sadly cancelled).  To try and make it interesting for other people to watch, since I’m not streaming it live… I’ve decided to post the videos in a style reminiscent of the old “Pop-up Videos” that used to air (way back when MTV and VH1 actually aired…videos).

I did try providing the snark via voice-over..but had issues getting a good volume mix between in-game audio, and my voice-over.  I’ll keep working on it, in case people would rather have the voice-over than the pop-up snark.

Without further ado… Here’s Episode 1 of “Cassidy’s Mis-Adventures”…

In this episode, our heroine is rudely awoken from a deep Cryo-sleep.. all because “Deadeye” Brightland misses his wife…

Please leave some feedback here, or on the YouTube page.. let me know what you like/dislike about it.. any suggestions… etc..

 

See you in Nexus!
